Comparing Notes for Grandma and Miss '41 Miss Hilda Schareln changed her position last Saturday when she began working for the General Finance Corp. In Elyrla. (Foreword: Ever and anon I am privileged to attend a gathering where somebody reads an original composition that to my way of thinking is far too good to be doomed to the oblivion of a desk drawer at home, following its rendition before the group for which it was written. One evening last February, as a guest at a party given by the Legion Auxiliary, I had just such an experience. Now, thru the generosity and kindness of the author, you too can enjoy this piece of literary work that so delighted everyone who heard It read that night. Our most gracious thanks to Mrs. Short for making possible for us this pleasure. Mrs. F. R. P.) By Mrs. Anna M. Short It was in 1814 that a courageous New Englander named Jo-siah Harris first set foot on the land now known as the city of Amherst. He had exchanged his farm in Becket, Mass. for land in the Western Reserve. He staked his claim on land surrounding "The Old Spring." The resulting settlement was called Amherst-vllle. Thus In 1939 we celebrated the 125th anniversary of the founding of Amherst. We of the present generation were, carried back 125 years back to "the ness," which is rather the exact good old days." Yes "all things Change as time changes Old or ders must give way to new." The old trail blazer for the stream- incd trains. The oxen to the automobile. The old trail to the supr highway. But the Old Spring flows ever unfailingly forth. People now, as then, come from many miles to partake of its cool refreshing water. The thirst of how many a wayfarer has been satiated throughout the years, no one knows save the "Old Spring," or how many homes depended on this source for their water supply. Compare this with our modern water system. No breaking of Ice on the water bucket in winter or tepid water In summer just a mere turn of the spigot pnd water either cold or hot is at your disposal. How annoying should the service be suspended momentarily. Yes, grandma was more patient, more willing to trust in Divine Providence, rath er than the mechanical genius of ,man. But we say she didn't have the problems we have today 1 quote, "The weakness and curse of France are the absence of homes. We are gravitating towards the French. That misnamed life called "single blessed- Miss Ruth Mays, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Mays of Park- av, and Elmer Cook, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Cook of the Telegraph-rd, were united in marriage Saturday' afternoon at', 4 o'clock in St. Peter'sEvangelical-Reformed church. The young couple exchanged the marriage vows read by Rev. C. E. Schmidt, before an altar banked with palms, ferns and yellow and white flowers. Lighted candlclabra cast a soft glow upon the impressive scene. Prior to the ceremony an organ recital was held and Morris Scott sang, "Because"' and "O Promise Me." The bride was lovely in a white gown with a train and her veil of illusion was fingertip style. Her bridal bouquet was fashioned with cala lilies. Miss Thclma Mays and Miss Alcta Mays attended their sister. The former was maid of honor and she appeared in champagne colored dress of sheer. Her flowers were an arm bouquet of purple iris. Miss Alcta Mays, brides' maid, wore lotus blue of sheer and her pink rosebuds fashioned her bouquet. Alton Cook served his broth' cr as best man and Leonard Cook, a cousin ushered. The reception following the ceremony was held in the church parlors for invited guests and the dinner for the immediate familcs was served at the Obcrlin Inn. Mrs. Cook changed her attire for traveling to a powder blue dress, navy coat, hat and acces sories and white gloves. The Tells Story Of English Bells Guest speaker at the weekly assembly of the high school students Friday morning was Dr. Lloyd Taylor, author and head of the physics department of Oberlin college. Dr. Taylor gave a talk on the bell ringers of England and demonstrated various ringings with a bell he brought from England. Ho also played the recording he made of the bells of St. Paul's in London. No bells have been rung in England for the past year and a half, stated Dr. Taylor, with the exception of the landing of parachute jumps. The morning's chapel program in charge of Mr. Arthur Engloa closed with the assembly singing "The Star Spangled Banner" led by Miss Thclma Mays. The junior high chapel pro gram was i.i charge of Miss Louise Matthews and it included assembly singing of the National Anthem and the salute to the flag led by Charles Barckert; prayer and Scripture by Frances Haas; play, "The Lost Mothers" by the 7-X class, directed by Bea trice Yonkings; two quartet nunv bers, Alan Sick, Robert Raesler, Robert Herbst, Peter Darakis; baritone solo Mary Kerti; violin solo, William Wilhelm; sextet, Louis Adlcr, Patricia Connell, Gloria Kocpp, Beatrice- Boro-wicz, Betty Kestler, Germaine Hucy; guitar solo, Robert Herbst and Hawaiin dance WilliamWilhelm. Meantime, however, the threat of further legal action to stop the construction hung over the job. Attorney Don Meyers for Harold Ricket, the taxpayer In the recent suit, said he was prepared to appeal the decision of Judge Guy B. Findley. Judge Findley denied a permanent injunction and set aside a temporary restraining order which has held up construction since April 1st. The appeal was to be filed in the Court of Appeals in Akron today. Meyers said he would ask for a temporary injunction pending the hearing of the appeal for the permanent restraining order. The board meeting Wednesday afternoon was attended by Sam Wragg and Harry Ruth, Bill Barber, the third member, was absent.The board discussed the matter of a basement for the building. Wragg said it would be better if not so much money was spent for excavation allowing more money for other work on the building. No decision was reached.The matter of a crane was also discussed. Solicitor Milton Friedman said the crane was one of the alternates in the building proposal and could be added without further bidding, but Lawrence Bramble, building contractor, sard the cost of the crane would be different than the cost opposite, a life of meager, solid, soiled selfishness, is on the increase. Marriage is on the de cline. Hotels and boarding young couplc made a trip south houses are displacing the modest and upon tncir return ore mak. Rotary Elects Board Of Directors The Amherst Rotary club elected its board of directors for the new year which begins in July. The seven men chosen at Monday's meeting were Roy Stevens, R. L. Metiz, Dr. F. E. Merritt. F. R. Powers, Werner Zilch, Rev. 11. H. Maxwell and August Nabakowskl. Tho board will hold an organization meeting In the near future to elect officers. Guest speaker at the weekly meeting was Dr. II. G. May, professor of archeology In Oberlin college. Dr. May also Bhowed slides on the history and construction of the synagogs in tho Holy Land. The local club has received an invitation to attend tho 157'h district conference in Sundusky, May 1315. Cash Payne of Garretsvllle and E. II. Helnes of Lakewood were guests at the meeting. at the time of the 'original- bid ding and therefor would have to be rebid. In determining the date to begin work, Friedman asked the building contractor when he could begin work. Bramble answered "immediately." "Can you start work at once, knowing that the recent taxpayer's suit will be appealed, and that there might be another temporary injunction granted which would stop you from going further"? asked Fried man. The contractor saia ne could. home. As a consequence court dockets arc longer, divorces multiply, jails arc crowded, while the bloom on cheek, and the more delicate bloom on character, fade away in the close, hot air of dissipation." You're wrong, guess again This is an excerpt from "Gay's Standard Encyclopedia and Self Educator" published in 1882. Grandma did take time out to relax, thus relieving the nervous tension. When night came she had to cease work because of poor lighting. We've gone far from candlelight to the very modern fluorescent lighting. To us it is merely another button to push. I remember well a little Incident in my grandmother's life which caused her much embarrassment. It seems she was dressed in Sunday best in order to attend evening service.
